Expressing Joy
The Joy of Writing
So long I've rested beneath the soil,
hidden from the pen.
A cold blanket of writer’s block immures me.
A new day dawns; its rays paint my shallow grave with light.
Arise…
Arise out of writer’s block…
My waking head tilts;
my hands parting the walls of this prison.
The poetry of my mind splinters the coffin lid;
cleaving the clay of the earth above.
No more silence…
The bones of my hand crack as I grasp the pen to write.
This voice shall fight its rasp.
Fused eyelids shall part.
A seed gives birth deep within a crevice,
its new form crawls to the light.

express joy? how can one....
something
more than just
the feeling
sometimes beyond
expression
expression
fails
if one tries
using
the dimensions
of time
place
or space
'cause joy
is something beyond
all of that
yes
time
only represents
the period
one stays
there
the moments
spent
together
with that special
soul
joy
to me
is
l i f e
tasted
felt
l i v e d
in those moments

Play it on your lips
Wear a smile on your face,
Wear a smile all day,
For nothing you wear looks lovely without it
Smile away the day,
and watch the effect
you pass around
It might just cheer up the not
so gay
and happiness may well
abound.
And don't you look your best
when you do smile
No wonder you're asked to say
'cheese' for a photo
but the trick is to wear it all
the while
'To smile without distinction'
be thy motto.:)
When someone creases their
forehead into a frown
You curve your lips upward
into a smile
Don't let their scowl get you
down
They'd be the one to look the
clown
while you show off your
inspiring style.
If people stare 'n' glare at you
Return their glares and stares
with a grinning smile
Keep smiling whether they boo
or pooh pooh
They might just reset their
mental file.
Thus forever flash your
pearlywhites
They aren't meant merely for
chow and bites.
Flash em' into a smile that
lights
A crescent shaped smiley on
the face
explore your own facial
expression delights.:)
A smile is a sign of happiness right under your nose
Smile warmly like the sunshine, like the crescent moon
Even when the icy cold wind of discourtesy blows
Wear a smile all day,
For nothing you wear looks lovely without it
Smile away the day,
and watch the effect
you pass around
It might just cheer up the not
so gay
and happiness may well
abound.
And don't you look your best
when you do smile
No wonder you're asked to say
'cheese' for a photo
but the trick is to wear it all
the while
'To smile without distinction'
be thy motto.:)
When someone creases their

You curve your lips upward
